Donna Kelce, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has shared her enthusiastic review of Taylor Swift’s latest album, ‘Tortured Poets Department’. Donna praised Swift’s talent and the album’s high quality, expressing her belief that it may be Swift’s best work yet. She also revealed plans to reach out to Swift to discuss the music, particularly songs that fans speculate may have been inspired by Travis.
Taylor Swift’s latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ has been a massive success, breaking numerous records. However, one person who hasn’t had a chance to listen to it is Matty Healy, the rumored subject of multiple songs on the album. When approached by paparazzi, Healy said he hadn’t listened to the album but was sure it was good. Some fans applauded his diplomatic response, while others were amused by his seemingly unbothered attitude towards the album’s potential references to him. The album’s songs, such as ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ ‘The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,’ and ‘I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can),’ have sparked speculation that they address the public’s reaction to Swift’s relationship with Healy and its eventual end. Despite Swift’s policy of not revealing the subjects of her songs, references to bands that Healy is a fan of and his unique style have led many to believe that ‘TTPD’ is heavily inspired by their relationship.
Taylor Swift’s latest album, ‘Tortured Poets Department,’ has been the subject of much speculation, with many fans believing it is filled with songs about her ex-boyfriend, The 1975’s Matty Healy. While Healy has yet to confirm or deny the rumors, the lyrics of several songs on the album certainly seem to point to a tumultuous relationship between the two singers.
In ‘Fortnight,’ Swift sings about a ‘temporary’ romance that lasted for two weeks, with lyrics like ‘And I love you, it’s ruining my life’ and ‘I touched you, for only a fortnight.’ This song is believed to be a reference to Swift and Healy’s rekindled romance in 2023, which reportedly only lasted for a few weeks.
‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ the album’s title track, also includes several references to Healy. The opening lyrics, ‘You left your typewriter at my apartment,’ are a nod to Healy’s love of typewriters, which he has mentioned in several interviews. Later in the song, Swift sings, ‘At dinner you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one people put wedding rings on. And that’s the closest I’ve come to my heart exploding.’ These lyrics suggest that Swift and Healy had a deep connection, despite their brief relationship.
Other songs on the album that are believed to be about Healy include ‘My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,’ ‘Down Bad,’ and ‘But Daddy I Love Him.’ In ‘My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,’ Swift sings about a partner who ran away from their relationship, with lyrics like ‘Cause I knew too much / There was danger in the heat of my touch.’ This song is believed to be a reference to Healy’s reputation as a ‘bad boy,’ which has been well-documented in the media.
In ‘Down Bad,’ Swift reflects on being ghosted by a guy, who she calls her ‘twin,’ after being infatuated by him. The lyrics ‘How dare you think it’s romantic / Leaving me safe and stranded’ suggest that Swift felt abandoned by Healy after their relationship ended.
‘But Daddy I Love Him’ tackles the theme of wanting to make a relationship work despite criticism from the outside world. The lyrics ‘No I’m not coming to my senses / I know it’s crazy but he’s the one I want’ suggest that Swift was willing to overlook Healy’s flaws because she loved him.
While Healy has yet to comment on the rumors that ‘Tortured Poets Department’ is about him, the lyrics of several songs on the album certainly seem to point to a tumultuous relationship between the two singers.
Taylor Swift’s latest album, ‘Tortured Poets Department’, has made a grand entrance, breaking sales records and amassing impressive streaming numbers. Within its first three days, the double album has sold 1.5 million copies in the US, surpassing the first-week sales of her previous album, ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’. This achievement places ‘Tortured Poets’ as the highest-selling album in its first week since Adele’s ’25’ in 2015.
The album’s success doesn’t end there. Swift’s dominance on the Billboard 200 albums chart continues as she aims to secure her 14th No. 1 album, inching closer to Jay-Z’s record of 19 No. 1’s and potentially challenging The Beatles’ 19 chart-toppers. Her presence on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart is equally remarkable, with the potential to surpass Drake’s record of having the most songs simultaneously in the top 20.
‘Tortured Poets’ has set new streaming milestones, breaking records on Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music. With its massive 31-song tracklist, Swift’s latest release is poised to continue dominating the charts and cementing her status as a musical force to be reckoned with.
